In Reply to: What are your favorite comedies? posted by Dmitry on August 08, 2000 at 21:16:49:

and what about

"The Man in the White Suit" (Alec Guinness, 1952)

or if you prefer Peter Sellers,

"The Revenge of the Pink Panther"
"Doctor Strangelove..."

and what about Cary Grant?

"Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944)
"My Favorite Wife" (Cary Grant, 1940)
"Mister Blandings Builds his Dream House" (1948)

Katharine Hepburn anyone?

"Adam's Rib" (with Spenser Tracy, 1949)
"The Philadelphia Story "(with Carry Grant and Jimmy Stewart, 1940)
"Bringing up Baby" (with Carry Grant, 1938)

WC Fields?

"The Bank Dick "(one of the funniest films ever made)

Buster Keaton?

almost anything he's ever done, but especially:
"The General"
"Steamboat Bill, Jr."

the great comics like Keaton and Lloyd are no so much funny to watch as they are simply jaw-dropping amazing. This is real, no stuntmen, no stand-ins.
